Not only did I have enough laundry soap to do all three loads of laundry on my list, I also found something really cool in the roll of quarters I got on Tuesday night...
A quarter that is from 1940!
The raised edges are mostly worn away, and it's not the sandwiched metal type. I haven't seen one of this era before. It's like a time machine, in a way. How many people have handled it since 1940? This was around during WWII, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Cold War, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Persian Gulf War I, 9/11, Afghanistan, the Iraq War...
A lot of history in a small, silver coin....
